I was a little surprised because I thought everyone knew that if you bumped one of the first blocks with your head, you got a coin ...

#14Very cool. This would probably work for any tile-based game by assigning a unique color for each tile. The original NES Zelda comes to mind.
I experienced precisely this effect, in a before-and-after style, as a gameplay element yesterday. The game started with lots of visual detail, but began to "degrade" as you advanced through it, and at 100% completion every tile was replaced by a single-colored block.
(The game was "REDDER": http://www.auntiepixelante.com/?p=540)

#19I need to buy some Arduinos, stat!
A regular computer can draw red and orange squares and accept inputs from buttons too. If you really want to do a hardware project, get an Arduino, but you can easily play with ideas like this without any hardware. And you won't have to write your code in C.
The arduino's got so many built in methods via Wiring that coding's really not bad. Shockingly easy at times..

#20to bad she didn't hook it up to a NES controller, should have been trivial no?
